If the saffron stigma is separated from the lower part of the red part, some of the yellow (orange) part of the string (white) are also present, along with the stigma part is called Pushal saffron. Some consumers prefer this type of saffron since the stigmas are attached to the root, which is proof of the health of the saffron field, and there is less possibility of cheating, and they choose to sell saffron.
Also, this type of saffron has all the properties of saffron because it is a kind of complete saffron string. Due to the low price of this type of saffron compared to Sargol and Negin saffron and less probability of deception and easier identification, this type of saffron is used in many cases.
The price of Pushal is lower than other sorts of saffron, namely Negin saffron and Sargol saffron, because along with the saffron stigma, there is also some root, and the price of the root is much cheaper than the stigma.
